Read full review. Nick Schager Sep 6, Twelve long years after "The Blair Witch Project" pushed the first-person-POV subgenre to horror's forefront, and four years after [Rec] expertly refined the formula, Grave Encounters can't even pretend to be anything other than hopelessly derivative. Aaron Hillis Sep 6, True terror needs at least some authenticity. That's perhaps too much to ask of a faked movie about a faked reality show that still can't scare up a fresh idea. Jeannette Catsoulis Sep 8, As the uniformly annoying characters stumble around, screaming and cursing, we don't give a hoot for their survival.
Quite the reverse: we're counting the minutes until the asylum's ghostly inhabitants silence them for good. User Score. Write a Review. User Reviews. I guess nobody noticed an interesting side of the film. Ghost hunters are fake. I liked seeing the criticism about the lie that involves the production of the kind of "reality show". The part where the hospital begins to become a ghost train The important thing is see the warning "do not believe in the kind of nonsense.
Amazing film, this film gave me all the scares i want in a ghost movie! There is only one criticism i have and that the hands coming out of the wall was just too un-believable. Other than that it was perfect. I esspecially like the idea that the crew start to go a bit insane and love that Amazing film, this film gave me all the scares i want in a ghost movie! I esspecially like the idea that the crew start to go a bit insane and love that they become 'in-patients.

It starts off as a somewhat mockumentary similar to The Last Exorcism that was pretty clever and entertaining as a phony ghost hunting reality show crew willingly lock themselves inside an abandon mental hospital only soon do the realize that it has a mind of its own.
The way the movie escalates the terror, suspense and intensity was unrelenting and I have never had to cover my eyes as much or be sleepless after watching a horror movie since I saw the first Paranormal Activity and though Paranormal Activity was more effective with its scares this one was a heart pounding frightfest with ghoulish ghosts and activity around every corner as though you feel like you're right there with them in a never ending haunted house ride.
The films direction, plot and theme is nothing new or ground breaking and the acting not as raw as some of the better found footage movies but once this sub-genre dies out this one will not be lost and forgotten and might be named as one of the best found footage film of all time, it is sure on the top of my list. Overall this definitely deserves a wide release as it's one of the scariest, entertaining horror movie of and sure it doesn't have originality on its side and ends on a predictable but still chilling note but I got to tell you Grave Encounters will get under your skin and it gives me another reason why I love the found footage horror movies so much because they're involving and terrifyingly raw which makes most of them unforgettable.
Keep them coming because I for one can't get enough of them. Highly recommended! FAQ 8. What is "Grave Encounters" about? Is "Grave Encounters" based on a book? Where is Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital supposed to be located?
Details Edit. Release date September 9, United States. Official site CA Official site Japan. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 1 hour 32 minutes. Gibson, and fake medium Houston Grey, investigate the abandoned fictional lunatic asylum Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where many instances of paranormal activity have been reported since its closure after the head doctor, Dr. Arthur Friedkin, is charged with inhumane experiments on the patients. After taking a day tour of the hospital, the crew return for an overnight surveillance campaign while locking themselves inside.
At first, everything is quiet, but soon, strange phenomena begin to occur, such as odd noises, doors and windows moving, and a wheelchair moving on its own. After recording a haunting where an invisible entity moves Sasha's hair, the group decides to finish their filming and wait for 6 AM when the caretaker will let them out.
They begin gathering their belongings, but Matt disappears while retrieving the cameras alone. Now becoming uneasy and with the caretaker nowhere to be seen hours after their agreed release time, the crew eventually break down the exit doors, only to discover that the exit mysteriously loops back into another hallway, and all exits either lead to more hallways or dead ends.
Lance soon realizes that the sun has not risen, and it is still night outside, despite their cellphone clocks showing that it is well past mid-morning. The group attempts to find an alternate exit, but to no avail as the building seemingly changes around them, creating dead ends and false exits. After the group encounters a young woman in a hospital gown whose face demonically distorts, Houston is separated and strangled by an invisible force.
A flash of light follows, and Houston is thrown back, dead. While resting, the remaining crew awaken only to discover that they have somehow been fitted with hospital identification bracelets, each bracelet having their name inscribed on it.
